Ivor watched Bonnie leave.
He then looked down at the food she had cooked and the tea she had prepared. His eyes filled with sudden happiness. Although Bonnie often teased him, she cared deeply for him. When Bonnie woke up the next day, Ivor had already left.
On the dining table, she found several of her favorite breakfast items and a note that read, “Honey, I had to leave early for a meeting at the company. I’ve made breakfast for you and left it on the table. Remember to eat.”
Bonnie smiled, seeing this. This man was as considerate as ever, always attending to every detail for her.
After finishing breakfast, Bonnie left Verdant Valley Retreat and headed to campus. As soon as she walked into the classroom, she heard her classmates excitedly discussing an upcoming student. “Did you hear? The new student coming to our university is from Zudale, and he’s super handsome!”
“Really? More handsome than Keenan? Speaking of Keenan, what a pity that such a good-looking guy left so suddenly.”
“Of course it’s true! Have you ever known me to spread false information?”
“It’s not such a loss that Keenan left. He used to follow Bonnie around all the time, so we never got a chance to talk to him. And it wasn’t just Keenan; our campus’s top two heartthrobs were always around Bonnie. She just has a pretty face. What’s so special about her?”
“Exactly! I don’t get why all the handsome guys flock to her. We’re not that bad either.”
“Let’s just hope this new guy from Zudale doesn’t get bewitched by Bonnie’s looks. Then we might get a chance to get close to him.”
“No way. It can’t always go her way. This new guy will be ours for sure!”
Bonnie twitched her lips helplessly. Sometimes, she wished those guys wouldn’t stick around her so much. It made her a target of jealousy and brought endless trouble.
Suddenly, she remembered a
message from Andreas. Could this
new student from Zudale be Andreas? No, it couldn’t be. He was a prince with countless duties every day. He wouldn’t have the time to come here as a university student.
Avril noticed Bonnie’s silence and thought she might be upset. She spoke up to comfort her, “Bonnie, they’re just jealous of you for attracting so many handsome guys. Don’t let what they say bother you.”
Bonnie snapped out of her thoughts, and replied with a smile, “I’m not that petty. They can say whatever they want. It won’t hurt me. Let them be.”
Avril shrugged, “True, they are just envious and spiteful. You’re used to people being jealous of you. I don’t know why I thought you’d care about their words. I must have been out of my mind.” Bonnie just smiled in response and didn’t say more.
The professor walked in with his
lesson plan. He announced, “I believe everyone is aware that have a new exchange student joining us. He is waiting in the corridor. Let’s give a warm round of applause to welcome Andreas!”
The class erupted in applause as Andreas entered the room.
